Legendary Filmer John Miner Joins the Element Team

We're so excited to announce the addition of Jon Miner to the company as Global Video Director!

Jon has been making skate videos for over 20 years, and is most known for his insane body of work with Emerica and their legendary team. In addition to his contributions in filming and editing THIS IS SKATEBOARDING, Jon directed the videos KIDS IN EMERICA, STAY GOLD, and the MADE series. In 2016, THE SKATEBOARD MAG named Jon Director of the Year for his film, MADE Chapter 2.

“Over our 25 year history, video has always been the main channel to showcase Element and our amazing teams. We’ve had the good fortune to work with some of skateboarding’s best directors, and we’re so hyped to continue that tradition with Jon.” – Johnny Schillereff
“

As I take on this new role with Element, I’d first like to thank Don Brown, Pierre-Andre Senizergues and mostly Mike Manzoori for giving me a platform to produce videos with Sole Technology and Emerica. Having been close long-term friends with Brian Gaberman, filming with Brandon Westgate over the years, and being able to contribute to Element projects in the past, this new role feels like a natural progression for me. I’m stoked to hop in the van and hit the streets with these buds.” – Jon Miner
